Needs a boost of confidence, IMO, does willphil. Seems apprehensive to take the kick on and show his stuff. Would love to see the club just back him in.

Yea has there every been any player in the history of the AFL that goes to Essendon and actually turns into a noticeably better player than before moving there?Going to * will actually ruin his career.
And I’m not saying this because I don’t like *, it’s just a weird fit for him.
Lmao I actually think he’s shown enough to be offered two years with a trigger for 3.It goes without saying, the only person who can shift the dial on this clusterf**k is Will.
Interesting thought process, I might add to my duffle coat #73, which of course is the drafting position used on Larkey.
And yell from the bleachers good job pick #72 (Xerri)
I don't think those that have concerns for Will's future with North are concerning themselves with the drfat number he was taken. It isn't relevant or shouldn't be.
And if it is, why stop there. Maybe's, could ave's, should ave's if only. Our team could look like this.
Balta instead of Wil Walker
Schultz instead of Taylor
Cripps instead of mcDonald
Miller instead of Durdin
Dale instead of Nielson
Battle instead of Watson
Darcy instead of Wiliams.
I'm stopping now, the above is depressing lol.
You hope, based on absolutely no ****ing evidence other than your own subjective biased opinionHe's got no contract and reportedly meeting with other clubs. If true, he's been told. If we can trick someone in to a 3rd rounder for him we've done well.
At least they aren't Collingwood where every decade or so they end up with a FIGJAM of mids.What about the ‘logjam’ of mids at *?
I think we have to be objective about this. I'm a 'wifi' guy too, but he's also been on the list for four years. Sure, he's had chronic illness, and allowances need to be made.Lmao I actually think he’s shown enough to be offered two years with a trigger for 3.
Hell, we even threw Brayden George two years and he hasn’t even played a game with us, or even remain on the park in the magoos.
Summation is spot on, probably has been offered a deal on base salary and putting the feelers out to either come back with a counter or finds out there maybe more fruit on a tree elsewhereI think we have to be objective about this. I'm a 'wifi' guy too, but he's also been on the list for four years. Sure, he's had chronic illness, and allowances need to be made.
On the other hand, what game has he played where he's put a stamp on it, and said to the competition, here I am?
Not many, if at all.
The comparison with Braydon George is not relevant IMO - Braydon will be on absolute base money, and with his rehab, he's essentially on a one year deal (2026)
For Phillips, a one year offer with a trigger for two is reasonable (and indeed, prudent) from North - if he can do better, fair enough, we part on good terms
Oohh, you basing that on no evidence other than your own subjective biased opinion?Summation is spot on, probably has been offered a deal on base salary and putting the feelers out to either come back with a counter or finds out there maybe more fruit on a tree elsewhere
There is no ****ing chance on this planet we let a will phillips walk. It’ll be a 2 year deal. You think we are rolling in midfield depth? Oh yeh, LazzaroOohh, you basing that on no evidence other than your own subjective biased opinion?

I know and im a fan of yours 99% of the time. Sometimes you dont get it right and sometimes I dont. There is no way we are delisting 8 blokes. He will survive the cut and prove yas wrong. There is a little engine that could in that player.Man I'm a fan of yours, I worry for your mental state when the axe swings in a month or so.
He's more likely as of now to be cut than retained.
Ran with Daicos did he? Lol.I would’ve thought WP showing he can run with and nullify some of the best mids in the game whilst also executing clean disposal (our two senior captains would only dream of having his disposal efficiency) - deserves him a couple of years. We can’t have every single one of our midfielders getting 30+ every week. Who puts the blocks on for LDU and Sheez?

The only way he doesn’t survive is if we bring in 2 x ready made midfielders. Cant see that happening.
We are not littered with depth in the midfield, based solely on that argument he survives.
And it wouldn't be the same without the shout of Lillies name. You are making be feel old tao ha ha.Man we are in the upper echelon of posters of that we can both agree
Now after a couple of recent chats, I think we may swing like Gary Gilmour at a long hop outside off stump.
Mr. Walker's playing havoc with the bats
Redpath – it's good to see ya back
Lairdy's makin' runs
And Dougy's chewin' gum
And Gilmour's wielding willow like an axe
Just in time for the 150 year test announcement, too.And it wouldn't be the same without the shout of Lillies name. You are making be feel old tao ha ha.
